It is my right to be a hopolite!

GOB,

In ancient Greece, a hopolite was a VERY LIGHTLY ARMED Greek warrior (Such a warrior usually had a short bow with arrows, javelins & at least one dagger as his primary weapons., who relied on SPEED, stealth & attack from ambush to WIN an engagement with a heavily armed enemy.

Hopolites were the armed scouts, snipers & "skirmishers" of their day..

yours, satx

Ran across this term today and I find it a perfect word to describe the insanity on the political left:

What the "L"?
